Albertini: Italy cannot always live in the past, Norway is indeed better than us now

November 18th Italian star Albertini recently attended the award ceremony of the Italian Players Association, during which he commented on the current situation of Italian football and the national team.

"Evaluating the national team needs to be from two aspects: the first is the technical aspect. In my opinion, Italy did not play very badly in the first half. In the second half, after Norway scored, the team split. The second is the emotional aspect: this is a heavy defeat, coupled with the three goals conceded in the away game. Instead of talking about technology and tactics, today I want to talk about values. Gattuso He is a passionate and fighting person who will do everything he can to pass on these moral values to the team in preparation for the next two games. Is Norway better than Italy? The performance on the field has said this. We cannot always live in the past and history. Norway is indeed stronger than Italy at the moment, and they proved it on the field."

was asked. When arriving at Pio Esposito, Albertini said: "He is proof that we trust young people and that we do not lack talented players. We need to be patient. We have been saying this for many years. We need to help young people and give them expectations. I hope Esposito can become the starter of a top club."

Regarding the crisis in Italian football, Albertini Ni said: "I think there are two points: We cannot regard our history as a prospect for the future, otherwise we will only live in the past and ignore what we are now and what we will be in the future. Second, we need to strengthen structural cohesion to define the football we want. We have excellent players, but very few can play in wealthy clubs."
